Thread: WEDDINGBELLS Message Board Community: For those of you who got the H1N1 shot

As of right now I will be going on Wed to get my H1N1 shot. Just wondering for those of you who got the shot, what symptoms if any you had after getting it. Im still getting over a little bout of a cold that I have, and I am wondering what I should expect afterwards. My DH is not very happy that Im getting it, however says I should do what I need to do. Still very nervous about it, just wondering how it went for the others expecting.

Mine was totally fine! My arm was sore (REALLY sore for about 3 days) and I had a runny nose and cough for a few days afterwards. Otherwise I was fine. My daughter had the cough and a runny nose, she also had fevers for 2 days. It wasnt too bad. Like you, I was really nervous to get my shot, but I must say, now Im glad I did. A ton of people in our extended family have contracted H1N1 and with a newborn any day now, Im glad were protected!

I had a cold when I got it so cannot say if I got anything cold related. The only thing I know is my arm hurt for about 3 days as well.

I had mine friday, and I had the unadjuvanted version, and I think that makes a difference in the side effects...my arm was fine, didn't feel it after it was done, no fever or cough or anything...it actually was no more of a hinderance than the time it took to get it Don't be scared, you can handle it!

I had the unadjuvanted one also... I had no symptoms. My arm wasn't even sore. pulling the bandaid off was the worst part.

I also had the unadjuvanted one on Friday, no side effects whatsoever. Apparently the adjuvant is what makes it more painful.

The adjuvanted vaccine definitely causes a reaction for most people at the injection site. I had a massive red welt that was incredibly sore. Four days later and it's still there but not nearly as red and swollen as it was a few days ago. I believe the unadjuvanted vaccine doesn't cause the same reaction.

I'm in the midst of a cold so not sure what reactions are the vaccine and what ones are the cold. I got the adjuvanted shot yesterday and had a fever and crazy shivers last night. Today just a sore arm, but I could sleep on it, or just did without caring.

Quote: I had the unadjuvanted one also... I had no symptoms. My arm wasn't even sore. pulling the bandaid off was the worst part. This. I got my shot yesterday. They use really sticky bandaids in my area.

I had the non-adjuvant and I've had zero side effects. My arm was tender to touch/push on for about 24hrs after, by 48 hours I couldn't even find the injection site. GL!
